The hardcover model book (WSLA1501000223 EN/US - 10/2013 Edition) reads "Sapphire Blue Metallic available from 10/2014."
Kinda ***-backwards that the Porsche microsite features a Sapphire Blue car on the landing page.

An unfortunate post today, regarding availability of certain options. Please read the full text, as it should clarify how this may affect your order. Typically, "Allocation Month" would relate to a "Dealer ETA/customer delivery" approx 1 month later (so a May allocation would typically relate to a June delivery... typically):
Macan (MY 2015)
Option: VO
Description: Leather in Bi-Color: Black / Garnet Red
Status: From allocation month March onwards, up to 4 weeks delayed in relation to the allocation month.
Please note that the expected dates do not reflect any delays yet.
We expect to reschedule orders by the end of February 2014 so that delays will be considered in the expected dates from March 3rd onwards.
Option: 3FU
Description: Panorama roof system
Status: From allocation month April onwards, we are expecting delays up to 6 weeks in relation to the allocation month. We therefore suggest checking your orders and, if possible, delete this option by February 26th to avoid the delays caused by this option.
Please note that the current expected dates in PVMS do not reflect any delays yet.
We expect to reschedule orders by the end of February 2014 so that delays will be considered in the expected dates from March 3rd onwards.
NOTE: 3FU is included in PJ3 (Premium Package Plus) and will experience the same delays.
Option: QJ4
Description: Side window trims in Black (high-gloss)
Status: Due to shortages at suppliers we are expecting delays in the production of relevant vehicles from the beginning of March 2014 onwards.
QJ6 “Side window trims in matt black” can be offered as a substitute for MY 2015.
Please note that the expected dates do not reflect any delays yet.
We expect to reschedule orders by the end of February 2014 so that delays will be considered in the expected dates from March 3rd onwards.
Of course, I will post any updates as they become available...

We (you/me/LOTS of others) would love to see the Macan Diesel, but you'll have to wait quite a while for this vehicle. I would not expect it before a facelift version, 3-4 years from now. And by then, they could have developed a hybrid version that could be excellent. [of course, this is speculation...]

Based on the latest inside-info (from the Dealer Launch in Spain last week) there will not be a Diesel in the USA Macan. They are targeting it as the "sports car" in the segment, nothing more/nothing less. Diesel is still not widely accepted as a sports engine (in the USA), even though it has greatly proven itself on the racetrack over the last ~10 years.

Im more of a black kinda guy. But i really wanted that grey RS color with black wheels.
Agate Grey is really nice. it was a coin toss. But i stuck with basic black at a no cost option since i could not get my RS grey.

Another update from this week, regarding Panoramic Moonroof on Macan:
From allocation month May 2014 to June 2014 onwards, up to 4 weeks delayed in relation to the allocation month.
No delays from allocation month July 2014 onwards.
As a reminder, typically your car will arrive at the dealer in the month following allocation, so if you have an August delivery, you should be fine.

In a number of Macan review videos (looks like they were taken at the Leipzig factory) I have seen a Turbo with PCCB/yellow calipers... yet no mention of this as an option... anyone got any insight to availability?

In marketing brochure that was just released, says 10/2014 at the earliest.
